“

I like you, big boy. Maybe you can help. Maybe you can prove you a man, Huh? Take out the boat. Show me you got some big cojones, and not some little bitty chiquita ones.

”

— Umberto Robina, to Tommy Vercetti.

Walkthrough

Brief

Tommy Vercetti receives a call on the mobile phone he stole from Leo Teal from an unnamed member of the Cubans. After he tells the Cuban that he killed Leo, the the Cuban suggests that he drive to the Café Robina in Little Havana and speak to Umberto Robina. In the café, Umberto confronts Tommy and questions his masculinity. Tommy insults him right back, and Umberto tells him to prove himself by proving he can drive a boat.

The Mission

Rico, a member of the Cubans, accompanies Tommy to watch him.

The boat must be driven through a series of checkpoints, including some sections through narrow canals, and a few ramps. Some of the checkpoints are in the air above the ramps, and the boat must be driven with enough speed to hit them.

The checkpoint race must be completed in three minutes or the mission is failed. The mission is also failed if the boat is destroyed.

• Go through the first checkpoint to begin the test
